Ball-shaped lugs? 😳
Just a curiosity, of course, but such an intriguing one!
What, ball-shaped lugs?
This possibily unique Patek Philippe watch, which was sold by Antiquorum in 1995, features a platinum case bearing the dedication "To James on His Bar-Mitzvah, From Dad, April 30, 1960".
I so wish I could have been James! 😊
Best, Emmanuel

Thank You 😊👍🙏
You are too kind, some call it an obsessive sickness though...but I don't care 😋😁
“ so wish I could have been James” - LOL, my friend 🤣🤣🤣🤣 - and ditto here!
I can only wholeheartedly agree - what a wonderful watch….and I love the way you express yourself. ❤️🤗
I mean, receiving such an extravagant
platinum Patek Philippe watch for your bar mitzvah, with a message from your father engraved on the back! A true fairy tale for a collector! 😇🤩 Thanks for your kind words, Christian. 🙏🏼❤️ Best, Emmanuel
Definitely very strange!
But a platinum gift from your father on your BM day? I would say yes! Best, Emmanuel
Not my kind of watch at all, but as Bar Mitzvah presents go that has to be one of the best.
I am actually quite surprised "James" sold it as he would only have been 48 and here I was thinking all Pateks were passed to the next generation. Marc
Yes, I find it quite sad that “James” decided to
part with this watch. I would have cherished such a meaningful timepiece with an engraved message from my father. But of course we know nothing of the whole story. Best, Emmanuel
Wow ! A very unusal and attractive watch Emmanuel ! What is the
reference ? The sector dial is very nice ! The "ball-shaped" lugs are unique but do not sing to me.
No reference number is given by Antiquorum,
just a movement and a case number (see below). Like you, I’m not sold on these ball-shaped lugs. Best, Emmanuel ...
Yes, you're very right, Art.
It's a rather sad hypothesis, but very plausible. Best, Emmanuel
